PITTSBURGH, PA. -- The Saint Mary-of-the-Woods softball team picked up a doubleheader sweep Thursday at Point Park by scores of 7-5 and 11-0.

In the opener, freshman
Lanna Martinez (7-4) earned the win, while
Summer Rocha retired the last two outs for the save.
Lyric Krause (West Terre Haute/West Vigo) was 2 for 4 with 3 RBIs. Freshman
Jaleigh Crawford (Elwood, Ind./Elwood) was 1 for 3 with two RBIs.
"Lanna kind of ran out of gas but pitched really well until then and it was nice knowing that we could bring in Summer to close the game," Walker said.Â
In the second game, the Pomeroys' offense exploded for seven runs in the second inning with the entire lineup producing at least one hit.
Tori Lee (North Vernon, Ind./Jennings County) was 3 for 4 with two doubles, a home run and three RBIs.

Jasmine Kinzer (Terre Haute, Ind./TH South) tossed five shutout innings to earn the win.

Scott was pleased to see her team put together a strong all-around performance.Â
"It was nice to see us play the way we know how and not let up at any point," Scott said. "Everyone worked together really well today and it was nice to see that work in our favor while wee took two."Â
